1. Karla N.

“Karla was our dog walker when she lived in the Boston area. We were so sorry to see her move away! Karla worked for us for several years. We have 2 dogs- one of which has some issues with prey drive. Karla did a great job learning our dog’s triggers. It was such a real relief that she listened to our concerns and was willing to follow our advice to avoid any issues. My other dog is older and requires meds, also no issues. Overall, Karla was just so incredibly professional. Our jobs require a lot of travel- and sometimes that comes with the unpredictable issues. If Karla had availability, she was always willing to flex her schedule to help us out- I could send her a note and let her know I was going to be late getting home and she would stay to feed the dogs or offer an additional walk. It was just such a relief to have someone we could rely on like that. Karla stayed in our home many times. She always left the house spotless and in perfect order. My neighbors would comment on that she was quiet and polite. I highly recommend Karla, and would not hesitate to hire her again. We will miss having her take care of our dogs!”


2. Jessica P.

“Jessica took care of our sweet but very timid dog Maddie over a weekend. It was our first time leaving Maddie with a stranger and we couldn't have been happier with Jessica. She followed all our instructions and, most importantly, gave Maddie so much love and attention. We could see in the evolution of the pictures over the weekend that Maddie finally relaxed - and that's not easy for her! Jessica was patient and understood that Maddie would take some time to warm up - but she went from hiding under the table to belly rubs by the end of the weekend. I highly recommend Jessica and would certainly ask her to help us again.”


3. Grace B.

“A great experience, and I would highly recommend Grace to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.”


4. Christina H.

“Christina was wonderful. She loved our dog and cat and they loved her. Feeling confident about taking a 7 day trip in the care of someone you trust is a great experience. We highly recommend her.”


5. Michelle F.

“Michelle was an absolute pleasure to have watch my animals. She made a point to take extra care, and spend ample time with my dog Bowser and cat Jynx. She took pictures of my pets, to keep our minds at ease, so we never had to worry. I will definitely be calling her again when needed!!”


6. Emma R.

“Bravo Emma!!! She pulled it off! Rocky is old with special needs and I was so worried to go on this trip. House looked fantastic when I got back and he seemed happy and well taken care of. Would recommend Emma’s care for anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!! Bravo!!”


7. Devorah P.

“Devorah was wonderful to work with! It was nice being able to go away and not worry about my fur babies at all. We will definitely be using your services in the future!”


8. Meredith C.

“We came back to a clean house and happy dogs, which is difficult because Coco is never happy with anyone. :) Coco must have had an especially good time, because she was in a very good mood. And my old lady, Maya, looked well cared for and clean, which is tough given her incontinence problems. The house looked well cared for as well. Meredith herself was extremely professional and responsive! I can’t recommend her enough!”


9. Melissa M.

“Melissa was thorough and responded quickly! I highly recommend her services. She was great to work with and went above and beyond for my kitties. 10/10 would recommend.”


10. Latifa A.
“Latifa is an amazing cat sitter!! She made sure to play with and feed my cat as instructed. She also sent me a lot of photos and videos of her taking care of my cat, and she is very gentle and sweet to him. I highly recommend her as a cat sitter. 🙏🏼💕”




11. Jada G.

“Jada was beyond professional, accommodating and so loving with our little guy! We would definitely hire her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking house sitting services.”


12. Victoria A.

“Tori was AMAZING. She was able to house sit for me with very short notice when my other sitter cancelled on me, and then while I was gone my dog got very sick and she cared for him and kept me updated. I felt so lucky to have her to care for him while I was gone!”


13. Aidan F.

“Aidan did a great job! He house sat with the puppies for 6 days and he left the house in great condition. The puppies were happy. He sent pictures to let me know they were going well too. I will definitely be using him again.”


14. Nicola P.

“Nicky is a gem! She stayed with Leo over the weekend - gave him love, exercise, and laughs. She understands dogs and how to connect with them. We’d love to have her back.”


15. Samara W.

“Samara was great! She stayed with our dog while we were gone over Christmas and it was so nice to know our dog was in good hands and had company. Samara sent pictures every day and our dog seemed to have a great time!”




16. Bri B.

“We are beyond thrilled with the exceptional care Bri provided for our French bulldog, Theodore. From the moment we met, it was clear that Bri is passionate about animals and highly professional. During our time away, Bri went above and beyond in every aspect. She stayed in our home, keeping everything spotless and well-maintained. Her frequent and detailed communication gave us peace of mind, knowing that our beloved Theodore was in the best hands. We received regular updates and adorable photos, which made us feel connected and reassured. Bri not only met but exceeded all our expectations. She followed all care instructions meticulously and showed genuine affection and attention to Theodore. It’s evident that Bri has a special touch with pets, and we returned to a very happy and well-cared-for dog. We highly recommend Bri to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter.”




17. Susan F.


“Susan did an incredible job watching our two dogs! It was truly a vacation for our pups while we were away. She is so attentive, gives the best daily updates, and keeps track of any and all directions given. Susan and her family gave our dogs a home away from home. We are so thankful for all of them and will absolutely be booking again!”


18. Sam L.

“Sam has been very patient with our little dog who takes a while to warm up to new people. Thank you, Sam!”


19. Shawn M.
“We have known Shawn for some time and she is perhaps one of the kindest, most helpful individuals we know. Shawn is a "true" animal lover and would do anything within her power to help make a pet comfortable. Shawn has worked with our two dogs on numerous occasions and also petsat for friends of ours. She has a vast knowledge of veterinary care and can spot a problem before it gets out of hand. We would personally give Shawn our highest recommendation.”


20. Angela G.

“This was Angela's second time staying with our pups, and she did a fantastic job! She was wonderful about sending updates so we knew they were being well cared for and having a great time, and she went above and beyond as a house sitter as well. We'd appreciate her help again any time!”
